Annadale, Shimla, Recreational ground in Shimla, India
The Annadale ground spans across a flat valley bottom at 6227 feet elevation, containing a golf course, helipad, and army museum near Shimla Railway Station.
The British officers established this location in 1834, naming it after a Scottish valley, while others attribute the name to Captain Kennedy's admiration for a woman named Anna.
The ground serves as a central location for military parades, cultural festivals, and sporting events including polo matches and cricket games throughout the year.
Visitors can reach Annadale by taking a taxi or auto-rickshaw from downtown Shimla, with the journey covering approximately 2 kilometers from the railway station.
The Indian Army Museum displays military artifacts while an adjacent cactus museum presents diverse plant specimens from global collections in this Himalayan setting.
